Have you ever wanted to have a "Look", but weren't sure how to go about it? Want a hairstyle befitting a
queen, duke, maid, lawyer, or even the boy or girl next door? How about Marge Simpson, an Anime
character, or one of the classic horror film monsters? Well here's your chance, because now YOU
can! We'll be demonstrating how to dress a wig, and giving pointers on styling, cleaning, repair, and
storing your finished styled wig. Just bring your wig, a wig head-form, some hair clips (or Bobby Pins),
and we'll have some fun!
